Maple walnut old fashioned
Mike P.

On Swann consistently came up as a top restaurant choice in all the social media posts I've seen so we finally made it here and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere is charming and upbeat with indoor and outdoor seating. We had a reservation and were seating promptly. Our server Kristin was very friendly, attentive and did a fantastic job. The cocktails were great. We ordered the saffron arancini and it was very good. For dinner we had the scallops with Brussel sprouts and the steak frites, the presentation was amazing and both were delicious. One of the managers Jesus stopped by several times to check on us and was very friendly. Overall this was an excellent experience and we will definitely be returning soon.

Pork Chop

Yum!!!! We had a reservation for 2 for a date night and it was the perfect spot. The tables are maybe a bit closer than preferred but besides that it was so fun! Staff was extremely friendly and attentive and gave great recommendations. The drinks were crisp, pork chop was tender, and scallops were perfectly cooked with the best base. Overall, amazing experience and would definitely come back!

On Swann is probably one of my favorite restaurants in Tampa. The only thing I dislike about this restaurant is how loud it gets but everything else is wonderful. The food is absolutely delicious. We did a girl dinner and tried a ton of appetizers that we all split and literally everything was amazing. The waiter was great, he was very attentive and super knowledgeable about the menu. Overall it was a great meal!

Steak Frites
Amanda B.

The steak frites were delicious, and the steak was cooked perfectly with great flavor! We were able to swap a deconstructed Caesar as our side and the dressing was amazing. The chef was able to modify everything to be celiac safe. My only complaint was that the fries weren't hot when they arrived. Overall, a great meal and it was the perfect size to split with a friend. I'd definitely consider ordering it again!

Arancini

We had a reservation, but arrived 30 minutes early and were still able to sit. Our server quickly brought us water and took our order. Friends warned me it would be very loud, which it was, but knowing this ahead of time helped. Brunch was so nice and the decor is so stylish. My boyfriend joked that the customers were all women, so it's definitely a great place to go with your girls.

A calm restaurant, I enjoyed the chicken and waffles, my friend a steak. We went for a birthday brunch as the staff was so kind! It was also not super crowded, which I enjoyed.

I came here for lunch and it was a great experience. On Swann offers interior and exterior sitting, just be careful of the no-see-ums, when sitting outside. Connor was my waiter and he was friendly and attentive. Check on my table frequently and knew the menu well as he recommended a few options. I really enjoyed the spring salad and added blackened chicken. For the entree, I tried the chicken sandwich that was delicious and love the fries. I highly recommend On Swann!

My friends and I went to here and had a great experience! Apps and drinks were so great and vibes were a 10/10

Came back here again but for Mother's Day brunch. We had an amazing visit as usual. However I was super bummed that the menu no longer offers the fried green tomatoes, as those were my favorite here. This time I ordered the smoked Salmon and it was delicious. I had a few bites of the cinnamon roll, which was still amazing. I looked over at my dad's plate which was the short rib hash, and it did not look that great. It was very minimal looking. I tried the famous kale salad and it was bland. My bf ordered the chicken and waffles and was disappointed with the chicken. It was kind of dry and he would have preferred an actual fried peice of chicken instead of tenders. I would still come back here but maybe for dinner next time instead.

Came here for my birthday dinner and had a great time! It's one of those restaurants you would think is overpriced and underwhelming but I didn't feel that way at all. The ambiance is perfect, especially for date nights. Modern and classy feeling, perfect for the South Tampa vibe. Everything I had was delicious especially the Steak Frittes, although I do think the steak could have been a tad larger. The fries were crispy though and I loved dipping them in my burrata appetizer. Brussel Sprouts were 10/10 and went well with the spicy margarita! For sure worth a visit, highly recommend.

Short rib hash
Gab G.

Made a reservation for midday on a Sunday. My boyfriend and I shared the kale salad, which was amazing, and the short rib hash. Great brunch spot!

Thyme after thyme: gin, Asian pear, honey, thyme and rosemary, Madagascar vanilla, lemon. Omg, soo good!!

Another stellar nite of eats at On Swann. We came here to celebrate my dear friends birthday. Our server Priscilla helped guide us through the menu with her recommendations. She was awesome, loved her energy. Side note: their menu changes according to the seasons. We had the opportunity to try the Fall menu. My faves were Zeppole with the amazing dipping sauces, Kale Salad, Lamb meatballs with the melt in mouth grits, Arancini balls (wow) and of course the dessert board ( we went for Bread pudding,decadent chocolate cake and cobbler). My friend raved about the chicken but it was too sweet for me. There was nothing "hot" about the chicken. Empanadas were lost on us, was lacking texture. Lastly the hummus, i didn't like this at all. I did not like the braised lamb hummus, something was off. Too acidic. A few hiccups but overall it was a fantastic nite surrounded by friends and amazing food.

My son and I first came here for a "one last great meal before leaving Tampa" and it was certainly a good decision. Love how lively and comfortable the dining room is... white and soft moss colors with plenty of light and busy, yet simple decor. Open ceiling exposing all the overhead pipes (water, fire, AC ducts and lighting) give it that industrial hint but somehow still feels a bit country-ish with their distressed, communal teal tables. We started off with an order of their MUSSELS to share (green curry coconut milk and coriander served with delicious garlic toast). Move over Pepsi, On Swann makes Craft Sodas and we tried a couple of them. I had a WATERMELON soda (think it had ginger beer in it) and my son had a HONEY ORANGE soda. My son loved his BLT SANDWICH... heirloom tomatoes, smoked bacon, frisée, seasoned mayonnaise on challah bread. He said the bread made the sandwich special. I went with the SPICY BUTTERMILK CHICKEN SANDWICH (with celery root slaw, honey butter and dill pickles on a brioche bun). Although I thought it was too big a bun for the chicken size it was still a delicious balance of flavors. Overall, ON SWANN is ON POINT !

Usually when you go to a restaurant with a HUGE menu, you kind of expect everything to be good but nothing to be really great. That's what makes Yard House different. Every meal I've had here has been fresh, flavorful, and genuinely delicious. We had the Korean Beef Cheesesteak, and that thing was SO flavorful and absolutely packed with meat. My husband loves cheesesteaks and said it's one of the best non-Philly cheesesteaks he's had! The fries were great too. I had the Garlic Beef Noodles, and OMG. So good! They're not super spicy at first, but the spice definitely creeps up on you after a few bites. Be prepared for the runny nose! The beef was incredibly flavorful, and everything together with the noodles and veggies was just chef's kiss. My son had the pizza and loved it. He said the dough was crispy on the outside but still soft, with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. And yes, I stole a bite--it was good! We also tried the Hibiscus Mule mocktails. They were refreshing and tasted good, although they were a little heavy-handed with the ginger beer for us. Still enjoyable, just very gingery. Overall, this place continues to be a win for us. Great service, great food, tons of options, and we've yet to have a bad meal here. I definitely recommend stopping by if you're in Tampa. Now I just need Yard House to bring a location to Jax, because I would probably be there every weekend.

Delicious food with a lively atmosphere and welcoming staff - what more could you ask for?…read more I visited Oak and Ola for a birthday dinner and had an amazing time. Rather than trying to search for parking, we just paid $20 for the lot right nearby and it worked out great for us. We had a large group and our waiter, Zachary, was amazing. He had plenty of recommendations, anecdotes, stories, and jokes to keep everyone happy and full. He was definitely a highlight for all of us. We had a variety of drinks, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed them. I had the Sacred Empress and was so impressed with the balance of flavors - mostly sweet with a slight punch from the serrano cilantro simple syrup. It sounds funky but trust me on this! We also split a bottle of the Lagar De Costa Albariño, at the recommendation of our waiter, and we all loved it. For food, we started with the Lobster Ravioli, Truffle Frites, Crispy Pork Belly Bites, Crunch Love Caesar Salad, and Olives. All were devoured and I think the crowd favorites were the Lobster Ravioli (though expensive, $26 for 3) and the Pork Belly Bites. For mains, most people tended to get either the Steak Frites or the Gulf Fish Amandine (which was snapper). My steak and another at the table were both way overcooked on the first go around but they very quickly remade them (and the fries) and got them back to us in 5 minutes, perfectly cooked. It was a delicious and filling dish. The Gulf Fish Amandine was also really tasty, but it felt like it was missing something like a starch. It's a very simple and classic dish. The Pork Chop was also well loved amongst the table and many people wished they got it after trying a bite! For dessert, you absolutely have to get the Toffee Cake - it was everyone's favorite dessert. Super soft, warm, and comforting, plus that vanilla ice cream just took it to another level. We also enjoyed the Chocolate Mousse, and the free birthday dessert they kindly brought out for us. Overall, the restaurant is fun and lively, with an eclectic feel in the mismatched dining sets and decor. I really loved how it felt. It's definitely a nicer spot for a date or celebration, but worth it!

Now to the review: I loved that you could see part of the kitchen from the dining area. It's very open with a central bar and didn't feel crowded or congested even though it was busy. I walked in on a Saturday night with plenty of seating at the bar. I wish I could recall the bartenders name who served me because he was awesome. Arancini 9/10 - these were actually my favorite part of dinner. Crispy, great flavor and would get these again Crispy Pork Belly - 6/10 the pork itself didn't seem seasoned and slightly tough. The sauce was spicy which I wasn't expecting. Margarita Pizza 7/10 - great taste but the crust was super floppy. I prefer a much crispier crust Burger 7.5/10 - it was good but I'm not sure I would get again. Charred Brussel Sprouts 7/10 - charred nicely but seemed basically plain. They definitely needed the sauce in the bottom Basque Cheesecake 8/10 - first time trying basque cheesecake and maybe the burnt flavor isn't for me so giving it a 8 because otherwise I thought it was good. Sticky toffee cake 8.5/10 - great taste but wanted the texture to be better. It sort of felt like a dry sponge and would have preferred a more dense cake personally I heard a lot of hype about this place so I had high expectations going. I'll admit, I was a little let down with my experience. There was a ton of things I wanted to try but of the things I selected, I'm not sure I'd go back to chance trying the others. Simply my preference and each their own. It is a great vibe with great staff and I did like the tastes of a few things. It's good, not great. Being about to take a scenic walk after dinner is nice too. Fair warning, parking was insane. I paid $20 to park in a grass lot due to a car show / event going on down there. I recommend this place at least once. I had higher hopes and I'll chalk it up to an off night which is why it's a 4 and not a 5 in my book.

We were seated at a super small table so it made for an uncomfortable situation with so little real estate available. Also the place looks like it's converted from a garage or something with metal walls and roll up doors that made the sound bounce around. The service was nice. We were well taken care of but they seemed to be spread thin because getting refills and getting our check took a bit longer than expected. One ssue was that the menu was very different from what was online via Google. I should have gone to their website I guess, but several items were not available and the filet I was so excited for had a very different set of items. No Brie au gratin potatoes or braised rainbow chard, citrus gremolata and a fig chutney. Now, let me say that my filet was delicious. I loved the sauce and the asparagus was good but for me, the potatoes were super underwhelming. A nice sauce or something would have made them better. They just tasted bland, were really dry and lacked any flavor. My wife expected the lamb or pork chops, they were both not on the menu. She got fish and chips which she really enjoyed, so it was a win. The Asian wings were our appetizer and were delightful too. Now the only real negative for us was the noise. We got there at 5:30 and it was fine. But as more people came in, the sound bounced around so bad that it became almost unbearable for me. I wanted to go so bad because people laughing and talking made my head hurt. Would I go back? Probably not. I didn't enjoy how loud it was. The food was very good though, so perhaps takeout would be more my speed. We had a nice meal and my leftovers were delicious later that evening.

They served us chicken nuggets to keep us a little more, even kilter in the fries and who knew chicken nuggets could be so good.

Both preparations were excellent, and the tableside presentation was a nice touch. It's refreshing to see a restaurant put this much effort into both the food and the dining experience. The only minor criticism was the lasagna, which was slightly oversalted. A little more restraint with the seasoning would have made it a much better dish. As someone who appreciates good Italian cooking, I particularly enjoyed the attention to presentation and the opportunity to experience two different preparations of a classic dish. Olivia's gets a lot of things right. Beautiful surroundings, professional service, and well-executed food made for a memorable evening. Definitely a restaurant I would return to. Lots of gf options
